When I got home and checked my mail last night, I found in my mail box the London live recording to the benefit concert, Stairway to the Stars. (https://castalbums.org/recordings/Stairway-to-the-Stars-1989-Concert-Cast/3770#3412) :)

Now I, too, want to watch those Pakula films again. Parallax View is actually still somewhat new to me because, for whatever reason, I never went to see it in the theater, and I never had it on any home video format. When Criterion released the Blu-ray, I scarfed it up and loved it, but I need to get a lot more familiar with it like I am with the other ones.

Last night I watched the extras on the blu-ray of Dragonslayer, one of my favorite fantasy films. Tonight I'll watch the movie.

In 6th grade, our teachers showed us Dragonslayer. They had to warn us up front that there was a brief bit of nudity (very important in that it revealed a character was not who they said they were). We were so excited thinking we were going to see something dirty. It lasted like 2 seconds and we could barely see anything. Nowadays, the teachers would probably be fired.

I have listened to the soundtrack for the new The Little Mermaid.

Can't speak to the movie, but keeping in mind that no one can top Jodi Benson, the vocals are pretty good.

Finally got the Amazon explanation about the hardcover - it's on them - a technical glitch for any ISBN starting with the three numbers the my book starts with - and that's thousands upon thousands of books, from print on demand to traditional publishers. They're fixing it in "batches" and so we simply don't know when they'll finally order it and have it in stock - but they're real sorry.

Well, frustrating. But at least you know something, if not a timeline for resolution. And it wasn't just you.

Tuesday afternoon greetings!  I spent about an hour at the AAUW garage sale site unpacking the stuff I’d taken in to donate.  While there I administered first aid to one friend who’d scraped her hand and commiserated with another who’s about a month ahead of us in the process of moving to Mount Pleasant.

Is this person pleased with the process?

I think she’s a lot more demanding than I am.

I saw it at a sneak preview just before it came out, at the Village Theater. Only - I didn't see it at the Village. I think I got it confused with Capricorn One. In fact, I saw Parallax the Friday before it opened at the theater it opened at - the Pantages. Not only that, it was one of the few times in those days when in the ad it said a new film starring Warren Beatty, rated R. I think 1974 was the year that began happening every now and then. I found a bunch of movies where they told the stars (never the title, though) - Claudine, Badlands, Mame, were three I found. It would get worse as the 1970s progressed.

Title: Re: 55%
Post by: bk on May 23, 2023, 06:22:42 PM
Jeez, for a minute I thought my brain really had crashed - I found an ad for the preview of Capricorn One the week before it came out on June 2, 1978 (NOT 1977 as the imdb would have it - they put December of 1977 as its release date and say it came out in Japan - well, really? Not a Japanese film and I doubt it was even finished by then). And yes, while they didn't have the title in the almost full page preview ad, they did have the graphic and ad line. And it was at the National. How could I be that off? But then I went back to April, two months before the release and voila - preview at the Village. The same kind of ad but no graphic - just the ad line. So, whew, and glad my memory is still mostly working. Interestingly, both previews were in 70mm.

So many years ago we were planning a production of South Pacific.

And there was only one Indy costume shop still open - and I didn't really like what they had to offer.

So.....

Post by: Jrand74 on May 23, 2023, 07:10:35 PM
I went on EBAY just as a lark.....and typed in SOUTH PACIFIC costumes......and there it was.....a touring company was offering ALL of the costumes for the show for something like $1700 plus a few hundred dollars for shipping....less than it would have cost to rent the show.

Starting Days of Heaven. First time I have seen it since it was in the theater. Everyone in it was so young back then. The great Brooke Adams, Sam Shepard, Richard Gere. And Linda Manz walks away with the movie. Love the cinematography.

So....we bought the whole thing.

And a few weeks later it arrived.

It was indeed the entire show......and as summer approached I got even more excited.

And our Nellie & Emile fit into their costumes perfectly.  And a couple of dozen nurse's uniforms and all kinds of men's uniforms.

It was great.

Jeez, for a minute I thought my brain really had crashed - I found an ad for the preview of Capricorn One the week before it came out on June 2, 1978 (NOT 1977 as the imdb would have it - they put December of 1977 as its release date and say it came out in Japan - well, really? Not a Japanese film and I doubt it was even finished by then). And yes, while they didn't have the title in the almost full page preview ad, they did have the graphic and ad line. And it was at the National. How could I be that off? But then I went back to April, two months before the release and voila - preview at the Village. The same kind of ad but no graphic - just the ad line. So, whew, and glad my memory is still mostly working. Interestingly, both previews were in 70mm.

So the Capricorn preview was at the National? My memory has me seeing it at the Bruin. Is that where it played? If not, that part of my own brain crashed long ago.

I still have no idea why I didn't go to see Parallax. Though it's not impossible that I did. When I watched it years later, a few scenes did seem familiar.
